My Mother, the Nazi Midwife and Me
Gina Roitman's mother had long hinted at the dangers that surrounded her birth in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany after the Second World War. But it was only when she travelled to Passau, Germany decades later that she learned of the Nazi midwife. We hear her story today.
Gina Roitman's story: My Mother, the Nazi Mid-Wife and Me
Gina Roitman's mother often told her a frightening story about Gina's birth in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War... a story so disturbing, it eventually drove the Montreal woman to search for the truth.
Her quest is documented in the film My Mother, the Nazi Mid-Wife and Me. It airs tonight on the Documentary Channel. Gina Roitman was in our Toronto studio.
